Birthday Dinner:

I'm doing laser tag (in Point Loma) for my birthday on a Saturday and we'll be going for dinner afterwards. I was thinking of going to the Islands in Eastlake, but they don't take reservations and it's kind of out of the way from Point Loma. We'll be eating dinner around 6pm and will mainly be coming from Chula Vista or Point Loma. What are some 'dinner-type' places (not fast food) you'd recommend between Point Loma-Chula Vista (within a price range of $1-15.00 per plate). There's a Padres home game that weekend, so Gaslamp/Old Town is out.
Thanks so much for all appropriate suggestions. ^_^
